YouTube, Facebook, Reddit must face lawsuits from Buffalo shooting survivors
βFor too long, social media companies have skirted accountability by hiding behind Section 230, claiming immunity from liability for content they distribute,β said Eric Tirschwell, Executive Director of Everytown Law.
βWe must hold accountable every single bad actor that prepared and equipped the shooter to target and kill members of Buffaloβs Black community,β he added.
Congressman Dan Kildeeβs (D-Mich.) brother, Timothy Kildee, was killed in a Tuesday morning shooting, local law enforcement said.
The suspect in the case is Timothy Kildeeβs son. The 27-year-old, who was not identified, sustained serious injuries and is currently recovering at Hurley Medical Center where he is watched by sheriffβs deputies.

Some returned home but the 639 who remained graduated, all ready for assignment.
